Too Beautiful to Live is the ultimate foray into pop culture— a blithe examination of
what's awesome and what isn't, what's in and out, what matters and what doesn't,
and what stands as the gem-iest web gem. In between analyzing important matters
like MTV's Rock the Cradle, My Super Sweet 1 6, R. Kelly's trial, Ross Dress for Less
and the song of the summer, hosts Luke Burbank and Jen Andrews candidly
discuss their own lives. Something between 'a show about nothing,' and 'the voice
of American hipster Zeitgeist,' TBTL is funny, endearing, and beloved: a show that
will never leave your heart and mind upon getting its foot in the door.

Luke Burbank

Burbank began his career in radio by pinch hitting across a variety of shows and
genres, working either as a producer or as on-air talent. His work touched a
number of shows, including The Conversation, Rewind, and Day to Day. He later
became a reporter for NPR before starring as a regular panelist on the comedy
show Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! After a stint on The Bryant Park Project Burbank
returned to Seattle to begin work on Too Beautiful to Live.

Jen Andrews

Jen Andrews served as producer for a variety of shows at KIRO before becoming
executive producer of Too Beautiful to Live. The show marked the reunion of
Burbank and Andrews, who had known each other since childhood. Andrews left
the show for a time after its cancellation from radio and subsequent transition to
the podcast format, but soon after rejoined Burbank as he broadcast from his
home, "Burbank Studios."

Sean DeTore

Sean DeTore worked at KIRO-FM as a radio engineer. With a penchant for aged
audio media like cassette tapes and vinyl records, DeTore was beloved by listeners
for his eccentricities and liveliness. After KIRO cancelled Too Beautiful to Live,
DeTore continued to appear, albeit intermittently, on TBTL's podcast incarnation.
